Photography is not documentary, but intuition, a poetic experience.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera... they are made with the eye, heart and head.

One eye of the photographer looks wide open through the viewfinder, the other, the closed looks into his own soul.

To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.

Photography is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It's a way of life.

For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.

Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.

Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation.

You just have to live and life will give you pictures.

The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and as the magnet finds the iron so it will find in every hour some heavenly blessings!

My self-confidence comes from the fact that I have discovered my own dimensions. It does not behoove me to make myself smaller than I am.

I am a filmmaker fanatic. I have never been star-struck by an actor once in my entire life.

I'm extremely critical. I don't consider myself a performance artist. I balk at the term performance art.

The child begins to perceive the world not only through his [or her] eyes but also through his [or her] speech

It's pleasant and bothersome and embarrassing all at once. Especially when you haven't done much and are a celebrity.

There are some friends you don't meet for twenty years and when you meet them again it's as if no twenty years has happened - you're lucky when that happens. I feel the same about books.

As in art, poetry, music, etc., the best theology is worked out in pain

Do you create anything, or just criticize others work and belittle their motivations?

I won't say if I'm single or dating or married or divorced. There's boundaries.
